(TF IMTS)

A) Background

B) Mandate of the TF

C) 1st Meeting in January 2011

9

A. Background (1/2)

i) CGST December 2007: - re-orientation of Eurostat work related to IMTS- « exploratory » Task Force

ii) Task Force 22 October 2008: SE, FR, DE, NL, UNECE- exploring several participants were in favour of an approach similar to the German one (use of existing statistics + identification of transhipment terminals) - data needs to be identified to justify the use of resources

10

A. Background (2/2)

iii) CGST December 2008: - DG TREN: to better express data needs - Eurostat with TF: to prepare a mandate for a formal TF

iv) CGST December 2009:- clarifications of concepts & needs- mandate for the TF composition of the TF to report to CGST 2011

11

B. The mandate (1/2)

i) Definitions:

- Multimodal transport: 2 or more modes- Intermodal transport = multimodal, using ITU (intermodal transport units).- Combined transport: rail/IWW/sea + short road- Co-modality: efficient use of modes on their own + combination (logistics) statistics on co-modality + logistics performance indicators

12

B. The mandate (2/2)

ii) To prepare a proposal to re-define the role of the European Statistical System:

- Users’ needs: Marco Polo, Models- Existing (national) experiences

orientation: possible developments:a) existing statisticsb) new intermodal transport statistics (CFS, « German approach ») c) review of existing sources of logistics indicatorsd) investigation into data avalability on inland terminals and port hinterlands

13

C. The TF IMTS - 1st meeting 18-19 January 2011

A) data needs: - White Paper (MOVE) - Policy initiatives on inter-modality and co-modality (MOVE)- TRANSTOOLS (JRC)

B) national experiences: - Container (NL) - Seaports in the transport chain (DK)- Port/terminals balance sheets (DE): the « German approach » - Austrian experience (AT)

C) international experiences: - report on hinterland connections of seaports (UNECE)

D) Other organisations:- ESPO- EIA

4) Current situation and next steps

Current situation:

- First list of terminals

- Analysis of « German approach »: use of existing EU data for each mode what’s missing ? (+ EU legislation; other sources)

Next steps:

- TF IMTS: 2nd meeting (Sept-Oct 2011): The list of terminals Feasibility of « German approach » Other experiences

- Rail WG: 9-10 November 2011 first test: to extend EU legislation ?

- CGST: December 2011
